Alpha Sam's POV I am so glad they took photos before the Goddess healed my daughter. She has gained a healthy amount of muscle whilst she has been unconscious. Weird, I know, but when the Goddess has a hand in healing you, I suppose anything is possible. Even being completely washed free of all her scars, bruising and wounds once the light began to dim. If Alex hadn't taken photos of her scars and injuries beforehand, we would have no evidence against that vile woman for the council to review. I had already had Mylo and Carson calling every member of the council to my territory to deal with this. They would have to take over, as that thing that hurt my daughter was still considered my mate. I feel sick just thinking about it. Tom told me they had hunted that bitch down to the forest and had caught her and dragged her disgusting ass back to the packhouse. She is currently in the cells, awaiting sentencing. She has tried mind liking me a few times, but all she says is ‘Sam’ over and ov
Serenity’s POV After my nap, I wake up to the annoying beeping again, feeling much better. I still feel so stiff and know I need to get my ass out of this bed. I roll over and see Mylo sitting in the chair snoring lightly. I chuckle at my father's Beta, who looks like a tamed puppy in his sleep, with his mouth hanging open as he slumps in the chair. “BETA” I yell out, making him jump up, instantly alert to any danger. He snaps his eyes around the room as I try to suppress my giggles. It's been so long since I was this carefree. Always feeling the looming shadow of my mother in my life. Right now, although I have no idea what is going on, I finally feel the weight lifting from me. She isn't my mother. She won't hurt me again. The determination of me and my wolf rise, and I allow myself to be carefree for a few minutes. Just allowing myself to be a teenager, who can tease my father's best friend. He snaps his eyes to me, widening in shock. “Tell me, Beta Mylo, do those instincts of
Beta Mylo’s POV I had tried to follow the law and tell her as little as possible, so when the Alpha came charging in, I felt relief wash over me. I love Ren like my own pup, and I know we are all hoping the Goddess blesses my son with her as a mate. He has a lot of growing to do in the next year to deserve such a she-wolf. He isn't a bad kid, he is just immature and needs to be prepared for the fact that if the Goddess chooses him for Ren, then he will not be an Alpha. Especially now. I still cannot believe Ren hasn’t noticed her physical changes since she woke up. There are no mirrors in here, but even the Alpha has not brought it up. I know it isn't my place to say anything, but there has to be a logical explanation. It breaks me to watch her sob as the Alpha attempts to comfort her. We both knew when we called the council in, that the Luna would be given a death sentence for what she has done to her own pup. It is not something our kind tolerates. My own wolf, Dagger, has been gro
Alpha Sam's POV As we approach the pack house, I see Tom barrel out of the front door, looking ready to shift. That guy has been one of my best friends for my entire life and it takes a shit tonne to get under his skin, but something has clearly pushed him too far today. He lands in the dirt path and starts pacing like a caged cat. Me and Mylo stop, cross our arms and watch my Gamma lose his mind. It would be comical, if it weren't for the shit that has been going on these last few days. He paces into the rose buses on either side of the path and back, trampling the plants as he goes. Two days ago, I would have chewed the guy out for this as my Luna had them planted. Today, however, there is something pleasurable about seeing them destroyed. He must have agreed with me, as he starts kicking the shit out of one bush, which grew a blush pink coloured plant. I can hear him grumbling on under his breath, chuntering really. I can make out “unreasonable” and “Bitch” among other things, b
Serenity's POV I hadn't slept for long; I knew that for a fact. My wolf wouldn’t settle, too pissed off from the events that led me to her. I was used to my life. The abuse. That woman. Star was only just able to voice her opinion on the matter. We may have been born together and bonded my whole life, but this is the first time we would have one body and mind to share. She was pacing, growling and generally being a pain in my ass. I sighed heavily and sat up. My father was gone, along with Mylo. I glanced around the room, my eyes coming to rest on Carson, my father's Delta. I used to be close with his son Carson. He was a nice guy, and very similar to his father in temperament. He would run security for the pack, and his son had been trained all his life to follow in his father's footsteps. He was constantly fidgeting, never happy unless he was moving and burning off all his excess energy. He was great to run the boarder with or do training with, but that pup was a pain in the ass to
Alpha Sam’s POV She snaps her eyes to me and smiles at me like nothing has changed. I don’t want to give the game away... I need her to believe I can forgive her for trying to murder my baby girl. I need her to think about whatever will make her start talking about why she did this. Why has she always done this? I turn to shut the door behind me, giving myself a second to take a deep breath. You can do this. ‘Spear. Keep calm in here. I need a confession out of her for this to work with the council. Ok?’ I ask him. ‘Make sure you get enough. I want this bitch dead’ he growls in fury, only adding to my confusion. The cell has a long metal table in the centre, two chairs on one side, and Sheryl sitting in the only chair on the other side. She is cuffed with silver cuffs, that are connected to a hoop on the metal table. Her elbows are resting on the tabletop as she continues to inspect her nails. “Sweetheart, would you mind calling that lovely woman from the pack salon? My nails g
Camron's POV I have been sitting in the waiting room like a nervous pup for hours. I know she's awake. My father is in the room with her. My leg bounces with my nerves, and my mother keeps scowling at me. Trust me, I tried to stop, because there is nothing scarier than a Delta Female who's annoyed by her pups. It's like a nervous tick of some kind that I can't stop. I rest my head in my hands and prop them on my knees, hoping that will stop the jittery leg, as my mother is really starting to be pissed at me. ‘We can't lose her. We can't. I want her as my mate. Please Moon Goddess. Please help her.’ I plead in my mind. My leg starts bouncing again, forcing my head up at down. Fuck's sake. My mother growls at me lowly, warning me to stop. “I'm sorry ma, I am trying,” I say to her in my broken voice. I haven't known where to put myself or how to feel since the second I arrived here. I feel fucking useless and powerless right now when all I want is to go to her and take the pain awa
Myles's POV I lay in my bed, staring at the ceiling, knowing Rens's bedroom was directly above mine. She isn't in there, I know that. She's still in the hospital. I had finished off the Beta work for my dad so he could be there for the Alpha and then had crashed out here. It has been the longest two days of my life. I have always felt Ren would be my mate. My parents thought so too. I never said anything to anyone, as I know how Camron feels that way about her too. None of us will know for a year yet, but I am starting to wonder who it will be. With how amazing and strong she is to have gone through all she has; I am starting to think she will be mated to another Alpha. Someone stronger than I am. My wolf Midnight whimpers in my head at the thought. Another Alpha will take her title and make her submit. No one would ever be allowed to do that to Ren whilst I am alive. ‘Over our dead body’ Midnight growls in my mind. ‘Agreed’ I say back firmly. He gives me a wolfish grin. ‘Mid
